Underground Proclamation

Maybe I should have just stayed in the park.
The tunnels I trod were wet, dingy and dark.
The wall art was weirder than a giant quark.

It said metaverses floating in potential soup?
Chug it all down, down, down Augustus Gloop.

What’s there to see in that Metaphor Sea?
Genes spawning you, is that what you see?
Body/brain, personality just a functionary?

What is there to find in sub quantum broth?
Is my question too questionable boffin toff?

How much do I care about your ivory tower,
its publications and their persuasive power?
A few decades from today comes the hour.

The time when materialism is out of rhyme.
The day when unshackled spirits are sublime.

I’m done with explaining why I believe it’s so.
You’d just back away and claim you must go.
Maybe you would say ring a psychiatrist bro.

Integrated, not synonymous, with our brains.
They influence us, but spirits holds the reins.

That intriguing rhyme was signed the Punster.
Judging by the pics he looks like a Munster.
Is he serious, or another meddling funster?


The Munsters is an American television series that began on the 24th of September 1964 and ended on May the 12th 1966. Re-runs were shown all over the world in the decades that followed.
